Wedding invitation extended to Telangana CM Revanth Reddy
Actor Akhil Akkineni, the younger son of Tollywood legends Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, is set to tie the knot with artist and perfumer Zainab Ravdjee on 6 June 2025. The wedding will take place at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, with a grand reception scheduled later in Rajasthan.
On 30 May, Nagarjuna and Amala visited Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at his official residence in Hyderabad to personally invite him to the ceremony.
Wedding at Annapurna Studios, a family legacy
The ceremony venue — Annapurna Studios — holds deep emotional value for the Akkineni family. It was founded by Akhil’s grandfather, the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao, and remains one of Hyderabad’s iconic film studio spaces. The couple will exchange vows in a private yet star-studded ceremony expected to include top names from the film, political, and business worlds
Zainab Ravdjee: Artist, perfumer, and creative force
Zainab Ravdjee, 39, is a bespoke perfumer and contemporary artist based in Mumbai. Born in Hyderabad, she has held exhibitions across cities such as Dubai and London. She has also appeared briefly in the film Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities.
Zainab is the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee and the sister of Zain Ravdjee, Chairman of ZR Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd.
In an earlier interview with Femina, Zainab shared her views on fragrance and identity:
“Scents are memories you wear. They are emotional signatures that stay even when words leave.”
Revanth Reddy receives the formal invite
On 30 May 2025, Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni visited Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy at his Hyderabad residence. They handed him a formal wedding invitation for Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee’s marriage.
The visit was short and polite. No public statements were made during the meeting. However, photos of the moment were widely shared by verified news sources. The invitation also marked the first official confirmation of the wedding.
This comes just months after Naga Chaitanya, Akhil’s elder brother, married actress Sobhita Dhulipala on 4 December 2024. Their traditional ceremony was held at Annapurna Studios, attended by around 400 guests, including family and close friends .
A high-profile wedding in Tollywood
This upcoming marriage between Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee is among the most anticipated events in Tollywood this year. The Akkineni family has maintained a dignified silence about the wedding until now, with the invitation to the Chief Minister marking the first public confirmation.
Although neither Akhil nor Zainab has yet spoken to the media, the buzz around the Akhil-Zainab wedding has picked up as the June 6 date approaches.
Conclusion
With the wedding of Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee set to unfold at Annapurna Studios, and a grand reception in Rajasthan, this union marks a new chapter for two influential families. All eyes are on Hyderabad as the Tollywood star steps into matrimony, surrounded by legacy, love, and tradition.
